Ummm, if AMD was going to go to the trouble of researching every batch of cpu's they hand out just to find my source, then they'll have deserved it. Plus, who said I named all of the cpu's I got? ;)

Not that it would be a 61, but just imagine having a chip from AMD that, for all intensive purposes, read as an FX-61. :p: If nothing else you could stir up some talk at some forums about a clockspeed ramping breakthrough at AMD...

Hehe, didn't think of that. One problem - the FX-61 most likely won't be .09 :D

;) BTW the 4400's gonna have to wait awhile since I'm having issues (again) with my SLI-D. I think somehow there's ice inside the socket. I don't know how it's possible, but some of the flowable silicone (to prevent shorts) I use may have frozen. :confused:

I've gotta k8n neo2 nf3, but I'd honestly rather buy a new sli-d and rma this one....

s7e9h3n where do you live? I'll donate my board ( DFI NF4 ULTRA) to you for testing if you live in "walking distance" ! ;)

How many DFI SLI-Ds have you been through now?... why don't you try the Abit AN8 Ultra they should be on the market very soon.

Let me put it this way, I've been through more DFI SLI-D's in the last few months than all of my RMA's combined in the last few years. Maybe there's a reason they've discontinued this board :rolleyes: I continue to go back to the board since there's simply no other mobo in it's class when it performs correctly.

Well s7e9h3n, I had an intuition that it was a FX-55. In your thread with 'Santa loves me more (dunno if it is), your first post said something about FX from a special RMA.

So guess we should've know that :(

When was the last time you saw someone RMA a cpu and get a test sample in return :p: The rma process my cpu's got through isn't the same as consumer-level RMA. It's internal, so you never know ;)

I've updated my sig to reflect my new cpu :p:

Well... you're nF4-less right now and I'm CPU-less on the nF4 for same rmasons... no water, but still too far to walk :p:

Maybe that paint will be dry by the time you get your new MB ;)

I've been itching to try something out ;) I think I may just do that with a new board tonight.......

nice.

it's curious that you've been through so many DFI boards though. i guess it really can't be beat, but i think DFI definitly should have waited an extra month to get some of the last quirks out :stick:

A lot of the problems have to do with the IC's around the socket and the mount for my mach2. I run into problems with condensation if I don't mount the evap tight enough, but on two occasions when I mounted the head too tight, a couple of IC's got crushed. :(

s7e9h3n..your fx55/57 should do this easily with tccd... ;) and get ultra-d ( not the sli one) with chipset 0452...probly NE have it as refurb..

care to elaborate or i might pick your brains in another time as i plan to dust off my mach2 stock unit with amd64 kit for DFI NF4 SLI-D later

Thats one RARE cpu you got there my friend.

Just waits for the Mach II to get put into action :D

Oh btw, sorry bout the heat. I was out before having a few beers. I'l get to it tomorrow. Pm me with the name.

Hey eva, yeah I really hate the mach2 mounting kit. It's a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to install and reinstall. What I was talking about is the flat piece which mounts to the mobo. I had shaved off the little "feet" on the piece which sits over the socket to get better contact with the cpu. This, in turn, means that I can't tighted that piece too much or some IC's around the socket may get crushed..... :rolleyes:

You know, those four little "feet" on the plate which mounts to the mobo. It seemed as if one or two of the feet would always end up sitting on top if an smd, and that would make the whole mount lopsided. So I just decided to file the feet off entirely and use some cork-seal between the plate and the mobo....
